Explore Rome

Rome has seen much in its two and a half thousand years - the rise and fall of the Roman Empire, the expansion of the Catholic Church and the artistic progression of the Renaissance.
The city is often regarded as the birthplace of modern western culture and shows no sign of slowing down now, with many buzzing galleries and bars across the city.

A step back in time

There are so many classical monuments and ruins in some parts of Rome it can be hard to believe two milennia has past since their heyday. Hundreds of awe-inspiring Basilicas, Palazzos, and Mausoleums mark the streets. At the Roman Forum many government buildings of the empire are still partly intact, and gives an enthralling insight into Roman’s lives, as do the ruins of the Colosseum, where Gladiators fought for their lives. The Trajan Column, an intricately carved marble structure, commemorates victory in the Dacian Wars of the Roman Era. The focal point of Rome is now The Vatican, a city-state within Rome to house the Pope and Catholic Church administration. Its best known landmark is the Sistine Chapel, where Michelangelo's immersive ceiling murals and wall frescoes illustrate the heavens and scenes from the Bible.
